Summer Complacency Not in Its Nascency

Both a green VIX and U.S. Dollar this morning seem to be lurking behind the curtain as we kick off what is traditionally a rough stretch of the trading year, from now until around late-October.

Lonely at the Top

We have a bit of a tug-of-war in the market today, as dominant earnings winners like AAPL AMZN FB (though GOOG is soft) seek to offset small cap weakness (IWM is down 2% as I write this even with the indices off their morning lows), as well as assorted other fades.

The Bull Case for Chotchkie's

As several of our Members astutely noted of late, some viable rotation sectors and stocks are emerging in the event the plethora of prominent earnings reports in large cap tech later this week (e.g. AAPL AMZN FB GOOGL all on Thursday evening) do not result in business-as-usual continuation gaps higher or now-you-see-it-now-you-don't ephemeral...
